Chapter 9 15. Project Evaluation. Kinky Copies may buy a high-volume copier. The machine costs $100,000 and this cost can be fully depreciated immediately. Kinky anticipates that the machine actually can be sold in 5 years for $30,000. The machine will save $20,000 a year in labor costs but will require an increase in working capital, mainly paper supplies, of $10,000. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 21%, and the discount rate is 8%. Should Kinky buy the machine? (LO9-2) 17. Project Evaluation. Ilana Industries Inc. needs a new lathe. It can buy a new high-speed lathefor $1 million. The lathe will cost $35,000 per year to run, but it will save the firm $125,000 in labor costs and will be useful for 10 years. Suppose that, for tax purposes, the lathe is entitled to 100% bonus depreciation. At the end of the 10 year, the lathe can be sold for 100,000. The discount rate is 8%, and the corporate tax rate is 21%. What is the NPV of buying the new lathe? (LO9-2)Chapter 61. a. What is the current yield of the 4.75% 2041 maturity bond?
